What are the sorts of jobs in a Pharmaceutical Company that a med-school dropout with a bunch of undergrad bio/chem credits could qualify for? Thanks for the advice! Any info much appreciated as always!

A BSN or BS is the basic requirement to get you in the door. A MS, PharmD or other degree not needed except for other higher level positions.
computer knowledge, SAS, etc useful not necessary.
There is also regulatory, quality assurance post marketing safety, basic research in the labs, genomics, devices, report writing. A device company has less strict standards than a pharma company, just mean protocols and procedures and federal regs less strict.
Don't hesitate, start contacting the pharma comapnies today.
You are an ideal candidate. Get going!!!
You could teach a course at a community college as well as have a job.
